Update McAfee to offline clients

Hello I can't seem to remember how to update my client's McAfee on my closed loop test network. It's been a little bit so let me explain what i can remember, I would update the definitions / versions on laptop, then copy those files into a repository on share which all client are pointed to for their updates. That's all i remember & having a hard time getting it working again. I can't remember which files need to be copied & where there at..

Thx

This article explains how to manually update the .DAT file, this I've got pretty much covered, the issue I'm having is updating the Scan engine. To do this as I mentioned I opened McAfee>Manage Features>VirusScan Enterprise> Right Click Auto Update & Start. Doing this on the laptop which is connected to the Internet goes out & downloads everything, not just the .DAT from McAfee. I'm having a hard time remembering which files need to be be copied to the Repository so that when the above is done on a machine on my closedloop it can hit the repository & download.

So i found a solution with the following https://community.mcafee.com/t5/ePolicy-Orchestrator/Offline-repository/td-p/77704

So what i was looking for a way to update my clients offline without having to go to each individual machine & apply the patches. So what i did was run Auto Update on laptop connected to internet, then did a Mirror Task copied to a Offline Repository clients check in with each day.

Thanks for the comments guys.
